Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy is a common procedure of brief performed on a day-case basis, in which rapid recovery with safe airway after extubation is crucial. Sevoflurane is considered the inhaled anesthetic of choice in such procedures, however it has been reported that emergence agitation (EA) is a frequent complication in 30-80% of children receiving sevoflurane general anesthesia. The possible effect of magnesium sulphate on decreasing the incidence of EA in children was not adequately investigated.
